Chitika – A Good Way To Make Money With Your Blog?

I recently got an email from the folks at Chitika which informed me that I could make referral commissions on anybody I refer to Chitika for a full 15 months. They even provided me a shortcut link to send my referral link out to Twitter. But, is Chitika really any good?

I have been using Chitika for some time over on PCMech.com. I do not put very much into the program and it has been very much one of my minority income streams. But, even without putting much into it, I have been making a couple hundred dollars per month with it. It might not be much, but considering how little “face time” it gets with my readers, I’m not complaining. And surely, if I took the time to optimize it, I could probably increase my monthly income fairly easily through Chitika.

If you’re not familiar, Chitika is a company which delivers search-targeted ads. The ads are completely compatible with Google Adsense and does not compete, so you don’t have to worry about running Chitika and Adsense on the same pages. Whenever a user clicks into your site via a search engine, Chitika will deliver that user a targeted ad block based on the keywords used to find your website. So, it is super-well targeted. And as of just a few days ago, they are no longer auditing traffic using these types of ads. The auditing process has been a source of frustration for publishers because it usually means your actual monthly income ends up being less than what your stats showed.

This is the kind of ad I am running on PCMech, which means the ads are only visible when the site is entered from a search engine. If you go directly to the site or click in from another site, you will see no ad from Chitika.

These ads have been working extremely well for Chitika, so much so that it appears as if they are now making this ad type their priority. When you log in as a publisher, this is the kind of ad you will see first. Only when you click the link for other ad types will you see the other options, including Lynx (contextual ads ala Kontera), whitespace ads (which use your site’s white space on larger screen resolutions), the eMiniMall and the Multiple Product Unit (or MPU). Those last two are PPC ads which lead primarily to products.

The other ad types they’ve offered have been pretty disappointing in the past and this is the primary reason Chitika hasn’t gotten much play on PCMech.com. The ads they’ve given were poorly targeted and generated very little revenue. So, I’m not surprised at all that their Premium search-targeted ads are working so well. They alleviate the problem of poor targeting. With the new ad types, my CTR climbed dramatically and my income climbed to the point that it is.

Chitika works best when (1) you have a lot of incoming traffic from search engines, and/or (2) you have a product oriented website which people come to when looking for particular kinds of products (i.e. a review site). Additionally, you can make money by referring people to Chitika. That won’t work for everybody, but for some it can.

So, if you’re running a site and want to try making some extra month with it, I would recommend Chitika. I’m still not making enough from Chitika to justify replacing any of my other ad sources with Chitika, but specifically targeting my search traffic makes a lot of sense and it does provide a little boost to my income. If you run a review site, you could probably make a killing with Chitika. As anybody in this business will tell you, you want a bunch of different income streams and, for me, Chitika is one of them.

Is there such thing as free ways to make money online? Or it is just another marketing pitch? Well, if it were I wouldn’t spend hours writing about websites, which actually supply your with genuine web earning opportunities.

We all understand that there is not such thing as “free money” or “easy cash”, but no one is telling you that online business is a piece of cake. At first it is pretty tough and you got to start with something simple and less complicated. For example, newbie earners just love the process of getting paid for using forums (yes you can can do this too, provided you have intermediate writing skills and would be interested in finding out new stuff every day).

Can you really make money by uploading images?

Certain people, who use Internet still think that making money online is not possible. But if earning money online is impossible, why would I spend my free time creating this guide for you.

If you are at least a bit familiar with web business, you should know some information about the best rated techniques of earning money online in your free time:

1. doing various freelancer projects (if you have some time and skills – you can easily find a job online, there are thousands of opportunities for freelance writers, coders and designers, if you can do any one this you will be fine in terms of earning money)
2. reviewing various online services (if you know how to write articles well, then you will be pretty fine, when it comes to reviewing stuff online, get paid to review services pay good money for such work, so you will be well set up by completing such work)
3. talk to other Internet users on different social networks (right now you can allocate several websites, which pay you for using forums (also give money for filling in surveys), communicating with other people and just for doing something you already do online, but without getting paid for this)
4. earning cash with website ads (you may have seen people, who are trying to earn money with blogs and websites by placing sponsored ads on their pages, well at least it is a great way to pay off hosting bills, but later on, when you get hold of it, you may be earning more and more)

I know that there are hundreds of thousands of people on the Internet, who are earning money on the Internet with or without their sites. To begin with Internet commerce you just have to find unique information and spend time researching different get paid to niches.

Actually I really hope you haven’t heard about one of the most popular techniques of making money online – earning cash by sharing files online. Just think about it – every day we share all possible kinds of files with our buddies or relatives (music, video media, PC games, software, ect.). First of all, I would like to answer one of the most asked questions related to making easy money with file sharing websites.

Why could you earn easy by sharing files and uploading images?

Get paid to upload sites are making good money from Internet advertising, which is located on your file download page. File sharing companies make enough funds to give their users up to 20 dollars per one thousand media downloads.How to make money from uploading at SharingMatrix – today I am writing about a website, which pays you to upload images and stock photography items, promote them to your visitors and blog users and receive money for every view, but if you have a lot of data files (not just images), you can set up an account with Sharing Matrix and get up to 15$ for every 1000 downloaded documents. I consider this website pretty interesting and profitable, so you are welcome to try them.

Depending on the company you decide to work with, you will receive cash for files from 2 mb to 2 gigabytes. Now when you know the process of earning cash funds with file sharing sites, I will give you some links to sites that pay you to upload files.

How to make money by uploading images and photos to Imageporter.com?

Imageporter.com is a extremely hot free image and photo hosting Internet site, where members can make up to 1.1 dollars per one thousand image views/downloads. Being a member of Imageporter.com you will have a chance to make money by sharing your media photos and inviting other members to this fine project. As soon as you earn 5$, you will posses a chance of requesting a cashout to your PayPal or Money Bookers account.

Lets talk more about Imageporter.com and their get paid to share offer. First of all, members at Image Porter could generate pretty nice online income by sharing images. The system works pretty fast and easy – you complete the process of registering with them, upload your data (in this case any images you like to show off), receive a whole bunch of links and start spreading them all over the internet. Every time your photos are viewed, you receive money for this (special credits will be added to your account).

So, yes, you can get paid to upload images (even though there are some negative reviews from people, who didn’t get paid, I have not tried this service myself so far, so I can’t actually claim that they are not worth using and signing up with).

Every member will bet get up to 1.1 USD for every photo views (it is somehow different from sites, which pay to upload data files). The minimum cashout limit is 5$ (which is equal to 5000 points at Imageporter.com) and all payments are said to be dealt with on daily basis (pretty cool, assuming that generating that much views is not that hard and you might be as well paid every day).

I have forgot to tell you that you make different sums of money for uploading images at Imageporter.com. There are three tiers (earnings depend on the traffic you are getting and pay per view rates vary between 1.1$ and $0.1 for one thousand views).

I do hope that this website is paying and simple users like you and me get paid to sharing photos online (at least I hope so), but I hope to get some feedback from you. Don’t forget to subscribe and follow me on Twitter.

Please rate this earning opportunity - it is very important to help tracking web based scams
